I never have understood why e-books aren't tremendously less expensive than they are. No production costs what-so-ever, no overhead, no damaged books to return......They should be at least half the price that they are! Until they are, I won't be buying any e-books or e-book readers. I do have Kindle, Nook and Kobo on my Droid X, but I have never bought a book for them, I only download the free books from their stores.
